Nice old hotel. Bathroom is dated. Small but effective. Food is outstanding. Hotel lobby is a lovely old style setting. Would come back here again.
Setting was very nice. However - room is way way over priced. Bathrooms are motel quality. Walls are paper thin. Beds feel like cardboard. No air conditioning. A campsite in a tent is a more comfortable residence. The outside is nice but it feels like they are paying off the loan for the land and building at these prices.
We had a balcony room at the front of the lodge. Never used the balcony. Did a lot of hiking and boat touring in two days - just had time for dinner and a cocktail by the large back porch, viewing spectacular sunsets. Don't understand no coffee service in room. There are a barriste and store (which is the only one with decaf) open at 6AM and 7AM respectively.
The location was great! As soon as you go underneath the train bridge, you see it. A massive log building rich with history. The entire atmosphere of the lodge is incredible and beautiful. The scenery alone would make anyone love it the instant they see it. The staff were kind and courteous and the gift shops had a lot to offer. The fact this place can be a wonderful venue location for meetings and weddings is also a huge selling point! This lodge is absolutely awesome!
We stopped by the lodge on our way into East Glacier. Being a last minute trip we were not able to consider staying there as they book up months in advance in the summer. Entering the huge main lobby of the lodge was like stepping back in time - it was pretty amazing! Unfortunately our timing wasn't right in order to take a tour so we just wandered around on our own in awe of this majestic place that fits in so well and naturally into this extraordinary park. There are plenty of places to sit and relax and enjoy the scenery both inside and out, and there were people of all ages enjoying the lodge. There is a lounge for lunch and drinks including a nice selection of draft beers besides the huge main dining room where a gentleman was playing the piano for diners. There is a gallery collection of old articles, pictures, and information that tells the extremely interesting story of the builder's concept and what it took to realize his dream. displayed on one end of the main lobby. Having said that, we were a bit disappointed in the dinners that we ordered as they were served barely warm and the dining room wasn't even that busy at the time.
Hotel reservations fill up fast! The shuttles do not operate like they used to; so you need to either rent a car - or plan your day activities around the reduced shuttle schedule. Not the fault of the Lodge but I get the feeling that it's corporate owners would rather book you on tours, than let you plan your own. Anyway plan at least 10 months in advance. And don't forget that Amtrak runs the "Empire Builder" to two stops in the park.
The food at the dining room is plentiful and regional. Try any item with Huckleberries!
